Although an ethusiastic collector for many years, I will be buying my first 1911 next week. Could one of you explain what exactly is the so called "idiot mark"?
Specifically, or typically, the arc mark/scratch in the finish below the slide release (above the trigger) caused by improper installation of said slide release during installation.
That's funny...
I don't know a 1911 that didn't put at least one of these marks on at least one of their cherished pistols. Sure, you learn to avoid them, but by then it may be too late
